Lifesavers Conference 2026

Pedestrian, Bicycle, and Micromobility

Thinking Beyond the Individual: A Fresh Take on Supporting Bicycle Helmet Use

Monday, April 20, 2026
4:15 PM - 5:30 PM ET
Location: 308
Bicycle helmets are proven to reduce the risk of severe injury, yet helmet promotion has traditionally focused on individual behavior rather than the broader environment that supports safe choices. This presentation draws on work from the National Helmet Coalition, where multidisciplinary experts from public health, injury prevention, and transportation safety synthesized evidence to develop consensus-based guidance for four strategies and an all-ages bicycle helmet policy grounded in public health and Safe System principles. Explore the evidence supporting helmet use, the role of helmet design innovation, how helmets fit within the Safe System Approach, and policy-focused strategies that encourage safer cycling for all road users.
